for foreseeable future,
sigh!
those pitter-patter
raindrops, so un-
light,
they lock you in;
as dreariness outside
seeps within.
i wander through rooms
looking for escape
from drear-inspired glooms,
right into a landscape
of brightness that cheers.
my heart has a smile
now, it appears.
‘thank you’ sweetheart
for your sweet art!

For the dverse prompt, Lillian asks us to write a poem about something that hangs on a wall, that speaks to us today. The weather outside is frightful (don’t mean to remind you of Christmas music again, but it is kind of true – not frightful really, just dreary!). And bright colors always seem like the medicine to cheer you right up. My tween spends all her free time arting and crafting and I find new creations up on her wall or in nooks and crannies around her room almost every time I walk in there.. and I am glad.
This also goes towards ABC Wednesday – Round 24 – the letter A, Ultimate Blog Challenge, day 9 (day 8 post is coming too!)
I like the bright colors of your tween’s drawings. If it were raining more here, I’d probably agree with the sentiment of your poem. So far only every other day or two. Wish it were daily so I can do a bunch of indoor projects and finish them. 🙂
🙂 haha Su-sieee!And I would enjoy looking at your completed projects.. your creations are always wonderful
Love the paintings and the poetry! Well done!
thank you!
This is the sweet side of motherhood… I love that your daughter’s art inspired you to poetry.

I see – ‘A’ is for art! it took me minute… : )
oops! i used to highlight the word(s) or make a mention of ‘what’ for the letter.. starting with B
Such a beautiful expression of your art and your poetry. And I love the idea of this challenge, we should find every excuse to be more creative. Let it rain…

that’s a very cute poem. I love reading expressions of beauty we see around us. The paintings can cheer up anyone.

I like the thought of raindrops locking us in but the smiles of others opening doors.
thank you Frank and yes smiles do open doors so much more easily:)
ART is ALWAYS welcome
thank you Rog.. always love hearing from you
Beautiful poem. Loved the hope in these lines –
I wander through rooms
looking for escape
from drear-inspired glooms,
right into a landscape
of brightness that cheers
The accompanying art is bright and cheerful and I am sure they bring a smile 🙂
thank you Kislaya.. for your warm words..
I picked the poem on your Sunday list. It was a fun skip through emotions and weather. I like the ending, sweetheart art! I use to link to dVerse but then they changed their open link day to Thursday and I do Thirteen Thursday on that day, so I know link to Poets United (Sunday) and Imaginary Garden with Real Toads (Tuesday). Nice to meet you!
Welcome to round 24 !
Nice to may welcome you again!
Beautiful Artwork
Have a splendid, ♥-warming ABC-Wednes-day / -week
